Question

Offer an additional example of how development of the age groups your classmates selected influence curriculum decisions in 5 sentences or more.

Age Group: 3 to 5 years old

Physical:

Children in this age range need physical activity daily plus healthy choices to eat to remain healthy at this age. Gross and fine motor development are very important for all children to start developing at an age younger than 3 but then refine these skills during 3 to 5.

Socio- emotional:

Children around the ages 3 to 5 are really learning that their actions have reactions, they can also come with good or bad consequences. They are also learning about their emotions and how to express them without causing harm or expressing them in a negative way. At my center we use conscious discipline to help the children learn about their emotions and controlling them. in the book it states " Theories from many branches of psychology informour understanding about the development of ego, personality, identity, empathy, andmorality in young children (Charlesworth, 2004; Levine & Munsch, 2011) and lead to thedifferent approaches that teachers use to guide children to function in socially acceptableways."(Jaruszewicz, 2012)

Cognitive:

Cognitive development is what they children are learning and retaining. When developing their cognitive these are the skills they are learning to help build their base of skills and knowledge for school and for life. The cognitive development is helping their brain develop getting them ready for the next step in any task. Things included in this area would be things like learning their numbers, letters, name, starting to write all the things getting them ready for school.

Children with special needs are always a joy in my classes but also take a lot more individualized attention. Understanding the disability completely is the best way to help you as the teacher help the child to learn and be included in the classroom. I have always wanted to work in a special needs room so when i do get the children that need the extra help and attention i love it. "Inclusion of children with disabilities serves several importantpurposes. First, typically developing young children who grow up within a diverseenvironment learn and internalize acceptance of their differently abled peers, which leadsto higher levels of self-esteem among children who might otherwise feel marginalized orstigmatized."(Jaruszewicz, 2012)

Explanation / Answer

The age group selected is between 3-5yrs. Between this age group children must be treated with atmost care and security. They do not have full fledged mind and body growth and hence they should be monitored with atmost care. Taking this age group in mind,it is very important to know about their mind and body growth.

The behaviour of children with external environment due to the changing circumstances and situations must be noted in order to take care of children growth. Their mind shall be easily turned up or affected by external affairs and they also have a varying mindset. Taking this topic might affect the curriculum due to collection of insufficient data.
